EN: to clean for someone
This is the verb form of 'Utos ni nanay.' It's when your mom tells you, '**Ipaglinis** mo ng kwarto ang kapatid mo, may sakit siya.' It's cleaning not just because it's dirty, but because you're doing it *for* someone else. The ultimate act of service (or sibling servitude).
From i- (benefactive) + pag- + linis (clean).
ROOT MEANING: cleanliness
A benefactive verb. You are cleaning *on behalf of* or *for the benefit of* someone. The object of the verb is the person you are cleaning for.
